The Bishop's Candlesticks is a one-act play written by Norman McKinnel and first published in 1908. The play is set in 19th century France and revolves around the character of the Bishop, who is a kind and compassionate man. The story begins with the Bishop returning home after a long day and finding a thief named Valjean hiding in his house. Despite Valjean's criminal past, the Bishop shows him kindness and hospitality, and even gives him a pair of valuable candlesticks. However, Valjean is unable to resist the temptation and steals the candlesticks, only to be caught by the police and brought back to the Bishop's house. In a surprising twist, the Bishop tells the police that the candlesticks were a gift to Valjean and that he had given them willingly. This act of forgiveness and generosity changes Valjean's life forever, and he becomes a better person as a result. The play explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of kindness to transform lives. It is a timeless classic that continues to be performed and studied by theater enthusiasts around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
